I have conflicted feelings about this south texas drama - the race relation themes and the classic western vibes work really well, but the movie just has too many simultaneous plot lines going on, and suffers from a lack of focus.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
